Description
Get a taste of the vibrant urban birding scene around the historic Boston Harbor! Join fellow teens for an excursion along the Harborwalk at Castle Island. As winter begins to give way to spring, this coastal hotspot becomes a gathering place for a range of migrating and overwintering birds. We'll scan the surf and skies for late winter and early spring birds like Brants, Common Loons, Purple Sandpipers, Snow Buntings, Peregrine Falcons, and more. Come find out just how alive with wildlife Boston can be!
